George Thorogood

“One bourbon, one scotch, one beer.”

“I drink alone, yeah, with nobody else.”

“The first time I heard Chuck Berry, I was a changed man.”

“When I get a new guitar, I just want to go out and play it. I want to get on the stage and just wail on it.”

“My driving abilities from Mexico have gotten me into trouble in the U.S. That's a fact.”

“I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel. I'm just trying to keep the wheel rolling.”

“The blues is the roots, everything else is the fruits.”

“My father said, 'Son, you're not going to be a brain surgeon... You're going to be a guitar player.'”

“'Bad to the Bone' is just a fun song. It's a cartoon character.”

“I was born to be a guitar player. That's all I know how to do.”

“I've always said, 'Give me a stage, a guitar, and a light, and I'm a happy man.'”

“To be a bluesman, you've got to have lived the life. You can't just pick it up out of a book.”

“Rock and roll is a contact sport. You've got to be in shape.”

“I'm not a star. I'm just a guy who plays the blues.”

“We play for the people who work hard all week. They come to our show to have a good time and forget their troubles.”
